4-2-7

The problem with your source, Fox news, is that it's a media outlet specifically designed to broadcast right wing propaganda, and it has been shown time and time again that Fox news has a serious problem of spreading lies and disinformation simply to discredit and demonize people.

So when you post a link to fox news anywhere, other than maybe that storm front site, you will be met with "Troll"..... Because it will be considered that you are simply spreading lies and mis-information.

I see the link and know that whatever the issue, it has been manipulated, misrepresented and taken out of context for the sole purpose of making Obama look bad.

This is your discussion.....

Yet other folks post or quote from biased sources like The Huffington Post, Mother Jones, The Daily Beast, Slate, Salon, Crooks and Liars, etc. Should those posters be similarly labelled as "trolls"? Hell, I've even pulled a quote or two from HuffPo. Am I a troll now?

At least you haven't posted a link from TownHall.com tipsheets Mike. Your pet troll 4-2-7 has repeatedly wallpapered the site with whole hog copy and paste Fox News article/op eds while representing them as the whole truth and nothing but.

Yes, you're a troll now, but not because you've linked HuffPo as a resource. Your defense of 5 below, among other things, qualifies you as a troll.

The fact is that none of those that you mention are as shamelessly fucked up as FOX...and you know it. The bias in news media is on a continuum...no other media is as far out on the continuum as FOX. You know that as well.

No, only Fox News...

Seriously, I don't know most of those other sites, but Huff post, I do take with a grain, and it hasn't been proven to be a site designed solely to misinform.

Just for you, Ike, I'm gonna change my avatar just for you...now that I'm officially a troll and all. Can't wait to show it off. It'll be up shortly.

For the record, I wasn't defending anyone, nor do I think anyone particularly needs my defense.

And as far as other news sites compared to Fox, what I know is that the most of the establishment / main stream media has allowed itself to be corrupted, and most all of the major outlets are screwed up in their own way. And some are far worse than Fox, because they still try to tell their audience that they're "objective".

But I know you folks on the left have a major stiffie for Fox, so you just go right on thinking that Fox is the epicenter of media bias if you wish. You'll be off target, but you won't be too far wrong.

To quote Fox news is like trash talking. Period.

And the Fox tag line has been "Fair and Balanced." So they lie from the get go. They don't just act as if they are unbiased, they proclaim it - but it is obvious to anyone that would view them objectively that they are shills. Most media is corporate media, so it advances interests that are profitable.

I am a fan of NPR. (And the Daily Show )
